It is quite possible that more people died in Grenfell than in all the terror incidents in Britain in the last 15 years. But nobody is hustled off for questioning.

They should be rounding up the Tory cabinet ministers and MPs who made the life-destroying cuts. They should arrest the suited money men who saw the area as just a chance to make profit.

Yesterday, chancellor Philip Hammond said the cladding used at Grenfell was illegal for such a building. Why has noboody been arrested?

Grenfell is not some great exception to capitalist rule. It is a particularly sharp example of business as usual

A man who posted pictures on Facebook of a body was jailed within 24 hours for three months. Will any of the real culprits face such treatment?

There are now dozens of practical campaigning steps that can be taken in the aftermath of the fire. Demanding sprinklers on all tower blocks, rigorous safety audits, immediate imposition of proper building regulations.

But this murderous incident demands more. It should end May’s tottering regime.

Every activist can do something, and union leaders could do a great deal more. Let’s build more furious marches like the ones we saw in London last week, and link Grenfell to all the other areas of struggle.

But this week, in these circumstances, the greatest opportunity is for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party to call the actions to finish off May.

And when even the Labour right are calling for the requisitioning of homes, why can’t Corbyn call for work stoppages? The Tories must not be allowed to escape.

It is right to seek out ways to pressure May in parliament and increase the Tories' crisis through such methods.

But this is no time for limiting the struggle to conventional parliamentary political moves. It’s time to tear the head off the system.

Corbyn was right to say yesterday that people displaced from Grenfell should be able to occupy the empty homes hoarded by the rich. We need radical measures to win decent housing for all.

Grenfell is not some great exception to capitalist rule. It is a particularly sharp example of business as usual.

Our sorrow and rage and defiance over Grenfell should be a spur to end the system of class division that produced it.

Our anger cannot be satisfied by anything less than fighting for revolution that takes back power from the rich and uses it democratically in a socialist society.

Avenging Grenfell means revolution.
